tion has just declared dividend of three
per cent. ON the earnings for the past six
months, making six per cent. for the year.

than that, but the Association will keep
quite an amount on hand as a reserve fund.
The indications are favorable for the sale of
very large number of shares of the Janu-
airy series. Thus far the Association has
been unable to supply the calls for money
which have been made upon 1t, and the sue
cess predicted for it has arrived, reports the

gentleman to whom a singular experience
had occurred the night before. He was a
somnambulist, and while sleeping at hotel
in imagination heard a burglar about to
break into his room. In his efforts to get out
or to escape through window, he broke the
glass and sash and cut himself on the wrists,
head, neck and face, so that the blood ran
from his wounds. As he aw0ke he found
himself braced in the window with feeling
that his jugular vein was cut and that he
was bleeding to death. He says he was con-
scious OF his acts, but was not able to pre-
vent them.
